Friends, one of the reasons why I love this episode of Against Everyone with Conner Habib is pretty simple: I love talking with comedian and author Moshe Kasher. He’s one of those rare wide-ranging thinkers who is also warm, and very funny.

Moshe and I talk about doing drugs, what it’s like to belong nowhere, why comedians are not philosophers, growing up poor, how I defiled waffles as a teenager, why Call Me By Your Name is a horrible movie, Moshe getting off with gay dudes on the phone, how MeToo is partially a reflexive backlash to trans rights, and gurus.

You can get the show notes for the and every ep with links to further reading, films, images, and quotes by signing up for as little as a dollar per month.

Hey there Joshua, great recs. I would, of course, love to have David Graeber on. I’ll have to see if he’s going to be in the same ciry as me anytime soon. As for Kevin – thanks for introducing me to him. I’ll look into his work!
